From the reviews

I have been training with Coach Will for a few years now. From offering modifications for movements, motivation if tired or encouragement if feeling discouraged coach Will is there to help guide you toward achieving your goals.

★★★★★ — Tiffanie, Jan 2025

I will always be a student of Will's. I have been training with Will for about 3 years now and have improved my boxing and kickboxing skills so much. He also has helped with weightlifting and crossfit training in the past, but the gym does offer weight racks, options in punching bags, showers, and so much more!

★★★★★ — Merissa, Dec 2024

It's more than just a gym, it’s a place to grow.If you're looking for expert training, high-energy workouts, and a motivational atmosphere, Lion Heart Boxing is that place. From the moment you step in, the energy is contagious. The workouts are no joke. Expect to sweat, push limits, and leave stronger each time.

★★★★★ — Chad, Apr 2025

By far the best family oriented boxing gym around! Will is a great coach and he will make you put in the work to better yourself. Makes it fun and rewarding. 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New to muay thai? Start at Lionheart Boxing

Lionheart Boxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at Lionheart Boxing

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
